I had a dealer install my key, they broke a coil wire and had to order another. Cost me 150 dollars with the two gaskets. And another 50 to install blue dalton spring ,took out the white dalton. I used to get 60 mph, then after jet kit I got 62 with the mud lights, after the key and spring I only could get 57mph. I changed to the original spring and original tires myself (easy job but may have not got the torc right), now i can get 60. Didn't try the mud lights but i would think it would be less. I was wondering if the key is in backwards. Has anyone had that happen? Will the key slow you down if backwards?

 

Your top speed seems really low, I hit 67-68 on level ground and 69-70 downhill.

 

I can tell you for 100% sure the degree key will not make you loose top end.

 

yes, you will lose top end, with the key installed backwards

 

Thanks for the replys. Can the spring slow you down that much?

 

if the key is in backwards the timing is retarded witch will slow you down if the key is in right it advances and should give you a little top end. all the key does is advance your timing. ck. your timing, the mark should be towards the top of the quad and if it's in wrong it'll be towards the bottom.

 

If the 4* replacement key is in the slot (looking at the end of the shaft) and shaft slot is facing upward, should the key offset be to the left (counterclockwise)?

 

How do you check timing? Which way should the key be?

 

Kawiyowee, That sounds right but jpsaa diagram on his post looks opposite.

 

which way does the offset go?
